Abstract
The alkaloid accumulation dymanics in Veratrum lobelianum were investigated. Jervine was found from 0.02 to 0.11% in the subterranean part at all vegetation stages. The jervine content was greatest in subterranean plant organs, reaching a maximum (0.3%) during natural dying off of aerial organs. Jervine, a natural analog of serotonin, can be used as a specific fibroblast growth factor.
